We use SLI for our searches and are thinking of just going back to the searches on our platfrom Bigcommerce
-
Does anyone have any experience with the advantages of using a search product like SLI in comparison to the search available on Bigcommerce.
We currently use SLI for the searches on our site but think over the years we have been using SLI that the searches on Bigcommerce have improved and we are thinking of switching back to using the Bigcommerce search.

Hello Adrienne,
SLI is going to have some features that BigCommerce isn't going to have in their default site search. However, as you said, BigCommerce has come a long way in this area. It really comes down to features, and what is important for you.
For me, I look at three main areas:
- Ease of use and user-experience for the consumer
- Relevancy of results
- Analytics
In all three of those areas, BigCommerce has it covered. It's easy to use, provides relevant results (and search suggestions), and you get reports like Keywords Without Results and Worst Performing Keywords (among others) which help answer all kinds of questions, from which pages to optimized to which products to source. I used to send the buyers at one store these reports quarterly, and they sourced many new, top-selling products because of it.
If you're missing any of the SLI "learning" features in BigCommerce's standard search, you may be able to get them with an add-on like this: https://www.bigcommerce.com/apps/searchspring-advanced-site-search/ (Note: I haven't used SearchSpring).

How often do you submit to local search/citation sites?
I recently received a Network Solutions spam/offer email regarding their internet marketing packages. One of the "benefits" they cited was that they submit your information to local search/citation sites once a month, to keep it up-to-date. I don't know about you guys, but my clients' information isn't changing on a frequent basis. I remember when it used to be a tactic to submit regularly to the same citation sites, but that seems like overkill now. Does anyone still do this, or is NS just trying to make their product sound good? Do we need to update citation sites frequently, or is it enough to update when there are actual changes to make?

Searching by Demographic Group
Is there a way I can search for top sites searched by a certain demographic group. For example if I searched for: Women 60-70 the top search results would be 1. Menopause.com 2. Retirement.com etc. I want to make sure I'm interact with my customer base where they are searching and engaging the communities they find most interesting and important. I know I can search for demographic information about these specific groups, but I want to get results of top sites used by a certain age and gender. Similar to the way you can target demographic factors in Facebook advertising. Is there possibly some search operators I can use to return these type of results?

Why are search results different for 'Yahoo Search' and Powered by Yahoo search?
So if you misspell something (no dns to connect with... unregistered domain as an example) on a browser that uses a Road Runner connection, it takes you to a search engine 'powered by yahoo search' which searches for whatever you typed in. Anyway, today we noticed that the website of one of our clients isn't coming up in this 'Powered by Yahoo Search' via roadrunner but comes up in Yahoo Search for the same query. In fact, we noticed that our clients website (10 yrs + established site) is missing in yahoo powered by search but on all other engines. Any clues? I thought this should be generally the same across Yahoo / Yahoo Powered / Bing / Bing Powered. Could this be using something pre-bing merger?
